France’s student protests grow as hundreds of schools close

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on a picture of a widening student-led protest movement over poor school conditions, with schools closing and unions or teachers joining in many reports. CBS, ABC, AP, Reuters and the New York Times emphasize scale and spread, while France 24 and NBC foreground confrontations with police; The Independent uniquely highlights water cannons and tear gas, and CBS alone mentions a teenager losing a hand. Al Jazeera focuses more on the protests’ growth and nationwide reach than on clashes.
